The final funeral rites for seven residents of Sefwi Asuopiri who lost their lives in a tragic road accident on January 7, 2026, will be held on Thursday, January 22, 2026.
The mass burial service is scheduled to take place at the Sefwi Asuopiri Community Centre in the Bia West District of the Western North Region.
Family members, traditional leaders and residents of the community are expected to gather in large numbers to mourn the deceased and pay their last respects.
The deceased include one male and six females: 64-year-old Isaac Acquah, 70-year-old Akua Bronya, 70-year-old Yaa Ampomah, 64-year-old Dora Asiedu, 62-year-old Ama Yamoawa, 55-year-old Cecilia Samah and 53-year-old Elizabeth Asiedu.
The fatal accident occurred when a tricycle, locally known as aboboyaa, which was transporting the seven market women, collided head-on with a timber-laden truck travelling in the opposite direction.
Eyewitnesses said the timber truck was speeding, forcing the aboboyaa rider to swerve in an attempt to avoid a collision. Despite the effort, the truck reportedly rammed into the tricycle with full force, killing all seven occupants instantly.
